Senior Embedded Systems Engineer

Join Infleqtion, a deep-tech startup focused on commercializing atom-based quantum technologies. As a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer, you will collaborate with physicists and engineers to deliver optimal embedded system solutions for quantum applications. You will develop scalable RTL, support tuning and troubleshooting, and architect processing chains. Embrace modern software engineering practices and participate in design, code, and data reviews. Enjoy benefits such as unlimited time off, paid parental leave, and stock options.

• Collaborate with physicists and engineering teams to deliver optimal embedded system solutions for quantum applications.
• Develop testable, performant, and scalable RTL using SpinalHDL, and support hands-on tuning and troubleshooting in laboratory environments.
• Embrace best modern software engineering practices to ensure robustness and maintainability, and participate in design, code, and data reviews.

• We are seeking self-motivated, energetic individuals with exceptional problem-solving and technical skills to help drive our Quantum Computing mission forward
• Experience leading small technical teams or projects
• Skilled in typical software engineering disciplines: testing, revision control (git), error-handling, readability, documentation, general code health, etc
• Familiarity with Embedded Linux OS distribution builds (nix, Yocto, or Buildroot)
• Modern closed-loop control systems (e.g. state space controllers)
• Expertise in developing HDL for one or more of the following applications:
• Expertise in working with industry standard hardware descriptive languages (Verilog, System Verilog, or VHDL)
• Good verbal and written communication skills, able to effectively share information with technical and non-technical staff
• Experience developing RTL in high level functional languages (especially Scala / SpinalHDL)
• Experience working with compiled languages for Linux and baremetal targets (especially Rust)
• Expertise working with AMD Xilinx programmable logic devices (especially Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC)
• Image processing
• Good collaboration skills, able to work in a team environment where engagement and participation are an expected part of successful job performance
• We encourage applications from engineers with expertise in high-performance signal processing in programmable logic, particularly those with experience in RF waveform synthesis, high-bandwidth control servos, image processing, or math accelerators
• Comfortable working in a Linux development environment and working with standard scripting languages (Python, bash)
• Desire to constantly improve and learn inside and outside of expertise
• Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science or related field and a minimum of 8 years prior work experience
• RF waveform synthesis and processing
• Matrix arithmetic accelerators
